Babes With Babies

Fashionista at work

Posted by on Jul 1, 2009 in home comfort zone, home stories | Comments Off

dressyGoing home to the Philippines isn’t complete without a day spent on a shopping spree….of course with my bestest friend.  But because she works and I don’t our choices for clothing were pretty much different. However, there were also stuff that we agreed on, thank goodness office clothing/suits need not be as how it used to. Nowadays, fashionistas at work are not talked about behind the back but are more accepted if not asked upon by co-workers as to where they can buy rare if not  modest clothing for women. My friend and I had big bags of loot that day but it does seem not enough. Glad there are online shops that sells gorgeous dresses and skirt or office wear (just in case I would need some in the future). Tabeez.com is one of the recommended stops for those who love to dress up, ocassionally, casually or just at the office. Visit and see their great gallery of women’s clothing at the best prices offered.

Baby cuteness and beddings

Posted by on Jun 23, 2009 in home comfort zone | 1 comment

130_mediumWould you agree that babies are synonymous to cuteness? I have always thought so…even my kids have a certain cuteness in them when they were babies. Even stuff for babies such as bottles, shoes, cribs, strollers, pillows and baby bedding tends to be cute too. All the more when they come in the same colors or design to complement the baby’s room and other cute stuff.

Baby Bedding Sets are the perfect gift for the cute little ones. Take this 12 piece 100% Cotton Nursery Baby Crib Bedding Set offered at Babybeddingpalace.com. The set includes  a baby crib quilt, baby crib bumper, a diaper stacker and lots more. Visit their page to see more of this package and other gift ideas.

Going Direct TV or Dish Network?

Posted by on May 9, 2009 in home comfort zone | Comments Off

We finally replaced the Plasma TV with the LCD TV that hubby has long been eyeing for.Whenever we go window shopping for TVs I never took notice of the difference of the screens because as long as I see pictures, I’m fine! Now, I got to compare them and I can say how much better it is to watch my favorite movies! Also, since this supposed tv is used as a monitor (connected to a media computer), I am able to watch streamed videos clearly than before. Back then, we had a satellite dish that we tuned to the UK and Europe so that we get both English and German programs. Then, hubby decided that we don’t need the dish anymore, so we had that removed and we just watch tv programs, particularly basketball and American comedy shows through video streaming. However, connection is not so smooth, so with the switch to an LCD TV, we also opted for  Direct TV. Ugly Betty has never been too ugly until now! It is no wonder that more and more countries are turning digital the past years. Understandably, a digital tv is more flexible and has many other benefits than analog tvs. Improved picture (less noise) and sound quality, efficient transition and more programming options for consumers are some to boast. And with DirecTV it just gets better.
But having either a  satellite TV from Direct TV or dish network is the question…as I mentioned, we had ours removed so I do not really know the capacity of a dish network though last year saw an increase in dish network subscription because of freebies given. It is for you to  decide, if you go digital, do not forget to make a comparison of the latest and best Direct tv deals or of course dish network packages

Climate Check

hvac-air-conditioning_2_250x250It’s almost summer and it would be inevitable for our homes to take on the heat.  Have you checked on your A/C (and heater) units lately? If not, then its time to do so. Having your old A/C inspected by a contractor is a must. Fortunately our contract includes free check up of these installations every year.

There are of course contractors such as Abilene HVAC,  specializing in Air Conditioning systems, repair, maintenance, installation, heating, vents. When looking for a contractor, get the best qualified for the job, the cheapest quote simply doesn’t necessarily mean you are saving.  Don’t sacrifice quality over the value of your money.

Remember that you don’t need the cheapest bid,  instead, you  should choose the quote that provides you with the best system and service for your money. The heating and air conditioning equipment in your home or business is a long term investment and should always be treated with utmost attention. It would be catastrophic to go through winter or summer with it running kaputt on you !

Online Tutor

Two years ago I worked as an English tutor for elementary kids. Now that my daughter is in school I saw the importance of what I was doing back then. I also saw how different it is to tutor my own kid, I thought aside from having to work, this could be a reason why the parents of kids I used to tutor wanted one for their kids. Finding tutors though can’t be that easy nor is it cheap. Since I am not at home in the afternoons, my daughter goes to an after school institution to do her homeworks. I am now opting for an online tutorial like ClubZ, which means I also should opt working at home (how about being an online tutor myself?) ;D ClubZ tutoring has a no child left behind program, meaning all grades and level can get a tutor in different subject they offer.
